Jerk Bacon

Since trying the various bacons—spicy, chocolate, candied, lavender, among others—made by a wonderful Charlottesville, Virginia, restaurant, I haven’t been able to eat bacon straight up since. This is my all-time favorite recipe for kicking breakfast bacon up a notch.

Ingredients

1 pound uncured center-cut bacon (as thick-cut as you can get)

2 pinches cayenne pepper

2 pinches onion powder

2 pinches dried thyme

2 pinches coconut sugar

Pinch smoked paprika

Pinch ground ginger

Pinch ground allspice

Pinch ground nutmeg

Pinch ground cinnamon

Pinch garlic powder

Pinch coarsely ground black pepper

Pinch red pepper flakes
